Avec les brocs de vin le soir dans les bosquetsC
Mais le vert paradis des amours enfantinesC

Grieving and WanderingG
-
Tell me does your heart sometimes fly away AgathaA
Far from the black ocean of the filthy cityB
Toward another ocean where splendor glittersC
Blue clear profound as is virginityB
Tell me does your heart sometimes fly away AgathaA
-
The sea the boundless sea consoles us for our toilH
What demon endowed the sea that raucous singerI
Whose accompanist is the roaring windB
With the sublime function of cradle rockerI
The sea the boundless sea consoles us for our toilH
-
Take me away carriage Carry me off frigateB
Far far away Here the mud is made with our tearsC
Is it true that sometimes the sad heart of AgathaA
Says Far from crimes from remorse from sorrowJ
Take me away carriage carry me off frigateB
-
How far away you are O perfumed ParadiseC
Where under clear blue sky there's only love and joyK
Where all that one loves is worthy of loveL
Where the heart is drowned in sheer enjoymentB
How far away you are O perfumed ParadiseC
-
But the green Paradise of childhood lovesC
The outings the singing the kisses the bouquetsC
The violins vibrating behind the hillsC
And the evenings in the woods with jugs of wineF
But the green Paradise of childhood lovesC
-
That sinless Paradise full of furtive pleasuresC
Is it farther off now than India and ChinaA
Can one call it back with plaintive criesC
And animate it still with a silvery voiceC
That sinless Paradise full of furtive pleasuresC

Moesta et ErrabundaB

Agatha does your heart rise up and flyM
Far from the city's black and sordid seaB
Towards a sea that's blue as any skyM
And clear and deep as pure virginityB
Agatha does your heart rise up and flyM

The sea the mighty sea consoles our labourJ
What demon taught the sea with raucous verseC
To choir the organ which the winds belabourJ
And lullaby our sorrows like a nurseC
The sea the mighty sea consoles our labourJ
-
Train bear me take me ship to other climesC
Far far For here the mud is made of tearsC
Does Agatha's sad heart not say at timesC
'Far from remorses sorrows crimes and fearsC
Train bear me take me ship to other climes'C
-
How distant is that perfumed paradiseC
Where all is joy and love with azure crownedB
Where all one loves is truly worth the priceC
And hearts in pure voluptuousness are drownedB
How distant is that perfumed paradiseC
-
But the green paradise of childish loveL
Of races songs and kisses and bouquetsC
Of fiddles shrilling in the hills aboveL
And jars of wine and woods and dying raysC
But the green paradise of childish loveL
-
innocent paradise of furtive joysC
Is it far off as India or Hong KongN
Could it be conjured by a plaintive voiceC
Or animated by a silver songN
That far off paradise of furtive joysC

Moesta Et ErrabundaB
-
Agatha tell me thy heart does it sometimes fly awayP
Far from the vast dark ocean of the mournful townF
Toward one still vaster mirroring the blue blue dayP
Mindless and deep a flood wherein all sorrows drownF
Agatha tell me thy heart does it sometimes fly awayP
-
The sea the enormous sea has rest for our desiresC
By what demoniac irony can that fierce thingG
That raucous howler to the winds' untuneful choirsC
Assuage our deepest woe with its wild clarnouringG
The sea the enormous sea has rest for our desiresC
-
Carry me off loud trains Abstract me silent shipsC
Far far Here even the earth is miry with our tearsC
Is it not true that sometimes Agatha's sweet lipsC
Murmur 'Far from regrets from griefs from cruel fearsC
Carry me off loud trains Abstract me silent ships '-
-
How far how far away that paradise aboveL
Wbere all our ills supposedly are put to restB
Where everything we love is worthy of our loveL
And the unburdened heart lies weightless in the breastB
How far how far away that paradise aboveL
-
But the green earthly paradise of childhood evenF
The songs the furtive kisses the dances the bouquetsC
The picnics on the hillside that unpretentious heavenF
Of summer twilights where a distant music playsC
But the green earthly paradise of childhood evenF
-
Where all our cares are mended in small secret joysC
Is it already farther than Shanghai or CeylonF
Or has the heart some kingdom no suffering destroysC
Where those young voices laugh where those old tunes play onF
Where all our cares are mended in small secret joysC

Moesta et errabundaB
-
say Agatha dost thou in dreams delightB
far far from Paris black and miry seaC
to rove where other oceans burst in lightB
blue deep and crystal clear as chastityC
say Agatha dost thou in dreams delightB
-
the vast vast ocean is our comforterJ
what demon gave the hoarse resounding seaC
and the gruff winds' great organ made for herJ
that siren voice to soothe our miseryC
the vast vast ocean is our comforterJ
-
bear me away swift car and frigate smartB
afar afar this mire is made of tearsC
Agatha truly does thy mournful heartB
cry out afar from sin remorse and fearsC
bear me away swift car and frigate smartB
-
how far from us that fragrant Eden liesC
where all is azure clear and love and joyK
where all we loved was worthy in love's eyesC
where hearts were drowned in bliss without alloyK
how far from us that fragrant Eden liesC
-
but the green Eden of our earliest lovesC
songs roses races with a kiss to winF
the jugs of wine at dusk in shadowy grovesC
where died afar a quivering violinF
but the green Eden of our earliest lovesC
-
our Eden of pure tremulous joy and blissC
is it now farther than the Asian shoreJ
can tears or cries recall each magic kissC
or prayers or silvery words some eve restoreJ
our Eden of pure tremulous joy and blissC
